Black sovereignty, Lidia Thorpe and the Voice
ABC News Daily - A podcast by ABC
This week, the Djab Wurrung, Gunnai and Gunditjamara Senator Lidia Thorpe quit the Greens and moved to the crossbench, after voicing concerns about the proposed Voice to Parliament. She's now declared herself a leader of the Black sovereign movement. Today, we unpack what Black sovereignty is, and its connection to the referendum later this year. And a warning: this episode of the podcast contains the voices of Indigenous people who have died. Featured: Dr Hannah McGlade, member of the UN Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues and Senior Indigenous Research Fellow, Curtin University, Perth
